On the 16th of april, at 04.00pm, MOMENTGRAPHY was born.
Wherever you were, whatever you were doing, even if you had to put the alarm-clock to wake up and then go back to bed, you were to take your camera and immortalize that moment. 137 people did it, all over the world, participating to the new born moment of the year.Yaxer Brad, the curator of the event, told us that this idea has been in his mind for the past six years, but only today, with Internet and the social networks, did he manage to realise it, with a simple click.The event was created on facebook and people from all over the world were invited to participate.
This form of art focuses not only on the object but also on the organized event: event that promotes the transient, flightiness and closeness between art and life. That was exactly Yaxer&#039;s intention. Curiosity drives him to promote standstill moments, breaking the space-time barriers, spying people&#039;s reality and life styles in an action that goes beyond culture and distance.
